Title: | Hunting in the snow. Artistic research as parrhesia | Authors: | LAMBEENS, Tom PINT, Kris |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | Department of Architecture, Chalmers University of Technology | Source: | Dyrssen, Catharina; De Graeve, Peter; Janssens, Nel (Ed.). Transvaluation: Making the world matter | Abstract: | Our paper takes Bruegel’s Hunters in the snow (c. 1565) as a starting point. We will not present a traditional art historical analysis, but approach it as an ‘environment of thinking’. Anachronistically, Bruegel’s painting helps us to understand the problems and possibilities of a Nietzschean ‘transvaluation’ in and by artistic research. Bruegel’s painting is more than an allegory: we will link it – and the knowledge that can be gained by artistic research – to Michel Foucault’s revaluation of the classical notion of parrhesia, a kind of truthspeaking that is not grounded in an external framework of scientific protocols and methods, but in a personal, bodily ascesis, in an ethical praxis. We want to argue that the artistic research can operate as a modern form of parrhesia in academic discourse, a parrhesia based on the visual and sensual qualities of a work of art. | Keywords: | artistic research; cynical parrhesia; image-sensation; Bruegel | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/19907 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://conferences.chalmers.se/index.php/Transvaluation/Transvaluation/schedConf/presentations | ISBN: | 9789188041005 | Rights: | Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
